Description
Within the first week of installing the WSP Softener Control Valve - Activated Carbon, you'll notice your water softener or filter cycles running efficiently and only when needed. This means less wasted water and salt, saving you time and hassle on maintenance.
How your water treatment system knows when to refresh itself
Your water softener or filter needs a smart control to decide when to clean and recharge itself. This control valve acts as the system’s brain, tracking exactly how much water you use. It doesn’t guess or run on a timer. Instead, it counts your actual water flow and triggers backwash and regeneration cycles only when necessary. This precision helps avoid unnecessary cycles that waste water and salt, or insufficient cycles that leave hardness or chlorine untreated.
Smart digital control you can check from anywhere
The valve includes a digital display that shows its current status and lets you set the timing for backwash and regeneration. It connects to your smartphone, giving you remote access to monitor and adjust your system without needing to climb a ladder or find a manual. This modern control helps keep your water treatment running smoothly with less guesswork and fewer surprises.
The media inside — why this valve pairs with activated carbon and resin
Inside your system’s tank, two treatment materials do the work: a cation exchange resin that targets hard minerals like calcium and magnesium, and granular activated carbon that helps reduce chlorine, odd tastes, and odors. This control valve manages the cycles that keep those media performing at their best, flushing out what they’ve captured and recharging their ability to treat your water effectively.
The tank it controls — sized to your home’s needs
The valve fits onto a tank specially chosen to suit your household water demand. While the exact dimensions depend on your home’s size and water use, our experts confirm the right size when helping you select your system. This ensures enough capacity to handle your water without frequent regenerations that waste resources.
Who benefits most from this control valve
This control valve is ideal for a residential water softener or filter system that uses activated carbon and resin media. It suits households where water use is steady or variable and where accurate control reduces running costs and maintenance. If your system is very small or very large, talk to us about sizing up or down to ensure the valve matches your flow and capacity needs.

Who this size is right for
What you are buying here is a control head, so the size it suits is set by the tank it sits on and the service flow the house needs, not by the head itself. On standard residential porting that is a single-family home.
No fixed capacity is published for this one. Give us two numbers - peak flow in gallons per minute, and what your water test says - and we will tell you whether this is the right size before you spend anything.
